About Kilocalorie per Hour (thermochemical)
Kilocalories per hour is a thermal power rate using the thermochemical kilocalorie (4,184 J per kcal) spread over one hour.
About Volt-Ampere (VA)
Volt-amperes describe apparent power in AC circuits. At unity power factor, VA matches real power in watts; this tool uses that 1:1 mapping for conversion.
How to convert kilocalories per hour (thermochemical) to volt-amperes (va, unity pf)
1 kilocalorie per hour (thermochemical) is equal to 1.16222222222222 volt-ampere (va) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 kcal_h = (1.1622222222222223 W ÷ 1 W) va = 1.16222222222222 va
Each kilocalorie per hour (thermochemical) is defined as 1.1622222222222223 W and each volt-ampere (va) as 1 W in this tool, so one kcal_h equals 1.1622222222222223 ÷ 1 va = 1.16222222222222 va.
Let d(kcal_h) be the numeric value in Kilocalorie per Hour (thermochemical) (kcal_h), and d(va) the value in Volt-Ampere (VA) (va). Then:
d(va) = d(kcal_h) × (1.1622222222222223 / 1)
Equivalently, divide by how many kcal_h fit into one va (watts per va divided by watts per kcal_h):
d(va) = d(kcal_h) ÷ 0.8604206500956
Or: volt-ampere (va) = kilocalorie per hour (thermochemical) ÷ 0.8604206500956
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 kcal_h to volt-ampere (va)
1 kcal_h = 1 kcal_h × (1.1622222222222223/1) va = 1.1622222222 va
1 kcal_h = 1 kcal_h ÷ 0.8604206500956 = 1.1622222222 va
Intermediate watts: 1.1622222222 W
Example #2: Convert 10 kcal_h to volt-ampere (va)
10 kcal_h = 10 kcal_h × (1.1622222222222223/1) va = 11.6222222222 va
10 kcal_h = 10 kcal_h ÷ 0.8604206500956 = 11.6222222222 va
Intermediate watts: 11.6222222222 W
Summary
To convert Kilocalorie per Hour (thermochemical) to Volt-Ampere (VA), multiply the value in kcal_h by the ratio of watts per kcal_h divided by watts per va. Equivalently: value_va = value_kcal_h × (1.1622222222222223 / 1). Numerically, 1 kcal_h equals 1.1622222222222223 va.
Relationship context
You are converting between thermal engineering rates (BTU/h, kcal/h) (Kilocalories per Hour (thermochemical)) and apparent power at unity PF (VA) (Volt-Amperes (VA, unity PF)). All linear values are mapped through watts first. The numeric factor is 1.162222e+0.
